Three things running can teach us about writing:

  1. We do it because we know, undeniably, it helps us
  2. Not everyday is going to be a top performance
  3. While others criticize our art, we wake up, shut up, put up

It matters little to walk somewhere to preach, if not the whole walk is the preaching.

Three reasons why running is like writing:

  2. The more you do it, the easier it becomes to start
  3. When you stop, even for a week, it takes days to get the rhythm back

Have been running regularly for the past week. Man does it ever feel good.
